David Bowie – Let’s Dance (1983)

Okay then, unless you are a die-hard Police fan, or you prefer one of Bowie’s other trinity of singles off Let’s Dance, this is the best pop sound from 1983. It seemingly emerged from nowhere with its unique sound. Stevie Ray Vaughan played lead guitar; David Bowie sang through new teeth; Rodgers produced with a slightly off time signature; and everyone bought the record. Have a great weekend.
